Ingredients

140 g
quinoa

1 tsp
vegetable bouillon powder

6
spring onions

3 tbsp
soy (edamame) beans

2 tbsp
cashew nuts

2 tsp
sesame oil

1 tbsp
soy sauce

Juice of
1/2 lemon

100 g
pre-grated carrot

Black pepper

Method

Rinse the quinoa (a seed that behaves like a grain). Add to a saucepan with 350ml water and the bouillon powder, then bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for around 10 minutes – or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is soft and fluffy.

While the quinoa is cooking, chop the spring onions, discarding the green ends. You have some spare time now, so maybe pour yourself a drink, set the table or do 30 press-ups.

Add the beans to the quinoa, stir through, then remove from the heat. Combine with the nuts, sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, grated carrots, spring onion and black pepper. Toss it all together well, then serve.
